Anatomy of a gadget: delving into the stuffing of Samsung GALAXY Note II
Good evening, Guards!
In August of the outgoing year, Samsung Electronics launched the long-awaited flagship in the second generation, at the same time combining all the best tablet features and the form factor of a large smartphone, which created a fundamentally new niche in the mobile device market - GALAXY Note II . Like its predecessor, the new product was warmly welcomed, as impressive sales show: in the first 37 days of sales, the volume of devices sold amounted to more than 3 million units. Today we would like to show the filling of the gadget and talk about its purpose.
1. HD Super AMOLED Touchscreen Display
The GALAXY Note II screen is a capacitive 5.5-inch touchscreen (multi-touch) measuring 141 mm with a resolution of 1280x720 (265 ppi) and an optimal aspect ratio of 16: 9.
2. Digitizer
This is a thin metal membrane that creates an electromagnetic field that is sensitive to the movements of the S Pen. Allows the smartphone to capture even the smallest pen movements up to 12 mm from the screen, activating specific functions, such as the Quick View mode of Air View content, which does not require touching the screen with a pen.
3. Holder
Due to the fact that the holder is only 9.4 mm thick, magnesium was used to strengthen it - a light, malleable metal of silver-white color. By the way, magnesium-based alloys are an important structural material in the aviation and automotive industries due to their lightness and strength. The holder contains all the main components of the smartphone. The interior space was further optimized by remodeling individual components such as the camera and speaker.
3.1. Antenna and speaker
The antenna of the smartphone is designed to catch radio ranges in various regions around the world. The device supports SoundAlive sound enhancement technology, which allows you to optimize the audio stream for your mobile device, emphasize low frequencies and make the sound surround (by itself, as much as possible on miniature speakers).
3.2. 8 MP rear camera and 1.9 MP front
camera The main camera located on the rear panel (8 MP, video 1080p @ 30fps) is an autofocus camera with LED flash + BSI sensor. Front camera (1.9 MP) - VT-camera + BSI sensor.
3.3. The proximity sensor
Galaxy Note II is equipped with a proximity sensor, which is located on the front panel of the smartphone.
3.4. Light sensor
The device is also equipped with a light sensor located on the front of the phone. Both sensors help conserve battery power and save it.
3.5. The
Galaxy Note II headphone jack has a standard mini-jack headphone jack (3.5 mm).
3.6. Vibrating
alert The vibrating alert in Galaxy Note II has six different options that can be assigned to different contact groups, along with ringtones.
4. Motherboard
On the motherboard there are more than 1000 important components, which in conjunction are a model of advanced Samsung technology.
4.1. Chipset The
gadget is equipped with a powerful Samsung Exynos 4412 1.6 GHz processor (4 cores, ARM-Cortex-A9).
4.2. LTE, HSPA +
GALAXY Note II supports many modern network standards: GSM / GPRS / EDGE850 / 900/1800/1900, UMTS (3G) 900/1700/1900/2100, HSPA + at speeds up to 21.6 Mbps and HSUPA at speeds up to 5, 76 Mbps.
4.3. Internal memory
There is a microSD slot for 16/32 GB.
4.4. Bluetooth / Wi-Fi
Bluetooth 4.0 (with support for Apt-X Codec) and WiFi a / b / g / n HT40.
4.5. Gyroscope The
smartphone has a triaxial gyroscope.
4.6. Accelerometer
A triaxial accelerometer is also available.
5. Back cover
The back cover has integrated GPS and Bluetooth antennas.
6. Battery cover and NFC antenna
Without near field communication, nowhere is it now.
7. S Pen
The S Pen has become longer and easier to use. In addition, everyday tasks have become easier and more intuitive thanks to features and applications that support S Pen. The enhanced S Pen features also provide additional options for instantly writing ideas and combining handwritten text with any digital content right on your smartphone screen.
